[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Halfback cover, a wing and a replacement if Joel Clinton goes I'd think would be priorities.
If Paea and Withers are confirmed that only leaves 2 or 3 non-club spots in the 25, if my count is right.'"
Paea looks nailed on mate. Great signing in my opinion, although I think he's the only good signing you've made so far. I'm sure there are more to come though. |

Do you see much NRL? It'd be nice to get a forward who wins collision. We never really did solve the problem of finding an adequate partner for Vella (Ward, Mills, Crossman, Fozzard, Clinton - we had enough attempts), and now Vella himself is gone. Hopefully O'Hara will do a job and Clinton will be replaced or regain a bit of form.
Horne has looked okay at Hudds, Hodgson has always seemed fairly competent and a good finisher - already 30 though. Taulapapa I've barely seen.
The only way we'll get much better is if Taylor, Watts, Cox, Sheriff and the like kick on. |

Shaun Briscoe
Ben Cockayne Misi Taulapapa
Peter Fox David Hodgson
Clint Newton
Mick Vella Ryan O'Hara
Ben Fisher Lincoln Withers
Matt Cook Greame Horne
Liam Colbon Nick Johnson/Liam Salter
Willie Mason Mickey Paea
I'm actually quite happy with our recruitment so far. Hopefully we will see a direct replacement for Newton and Briscoe come in too. ALL of the players we have signed are argubly better then the ones they are replacing (with only Misi for Ben a ? for me) or are homegrown players and I would hazard a guess that we are saving some cap money particulalry Vella/O'Hara and Mason/Paea. What I like is that we are now developing decent depth. |

I'm sorry but Mickey Paea better than Mason? Nick Johnson better than Colbon? Graeme Horne better than Matt Cook? And, as much as I hate him, Taulapapa better than Cockayne??? ![]()
Paea doesn't have to do a lot to be better than Mason (in a Rovers shirt), jeez, the cardboard cut out in Morrisons had better stats! The rest we will have to wait and see, would you not agree?

Fair point on Johnson but Paea is really really good. Mason was a superstar in his day, but those days are gone and he proved to be an expensive liability. Horne is much improved from his Hull days and is easily as good as Cook if not better, and certainly has a better attitude. Jury is out on Taulapapa, but I doubt Cockayne would ever be good enough to match the NRL appearances he's made.

Oh, you're talking about in a Rover's shirt? Then maybe, but Mason played well for the Cowboys in his final season before leaving. So? That doesn't mean they're better. Colbon has played 103 SL games, them 2 haven't played any. Is Horne rlbetter in defencerl? Maybe he has played NRL - so have a host of players who have come over and played crap, but I'd still rather have Cockayne. |

Good of the kid to show some loyalty, but I suspect it's down to cash. He will have had a really low full time offer to compare to a p/t offer and he's gone for the latter. At 22 he's got time on his side as a forward and a year under Harrison will not do him any harm in the long term. He would also have struggled for 1st team chances next year.

Seems a strange one to me. Turning down the chance to train full time and get some experience and pointers from the older players. |

As I said, I reckon under all the statements, it will boil down to cash, and he will be financially better off where he is. |

Probably so, but personally I'd of thought it would be better to develop your game now, so in the long term you have a better chance of getting a decent contract. Unless he feels Harrison is the man to do that. |
